Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to the Jeff Adams Show. I'm Jeff Adams,
and today we're diving into three powerful stories that speak
right into our world. AI and digital deception, the power
of faith filled storytelling, and why America's best hope might
be a spiritual revival stick around. This episode is personal, prophetic,
(00:21):
and practical. First up, Glenn Beck recently sounded the alarm
about an emerging threat Russia, AI and the rise of
digital deception. In our age of deep fakes, social bots,
and AI generated propaganda, we're facing a new kind of warfare,
one waged in our minds and our media feeds. Beck
(00:43):
warns that these AI tools are not just transforming industries,
they're rewriting our reality. Imagine video of a leader saying
things they never said, or fabricated news stories going viral.
Who do we trust when our eyes and ears can't
even tell real from fake? This? This isn't sci fi,
It's now. We need spiritual discernment and critical thinking. We
(01:06):
must ask are we rooted in truth? Because if we
aren't anchored, digital deception can derail our beliefs, our relationships,
even our democracy. So here's the question for you, how
are you protecting your mind and heart from manipulation, especially
when truth itself is under assault. That brings me to
(01:27):
our second story, because what battles deception story and not
just any story, but a story shaped by faith and hope.
Taxing our minds with critical thinking is vital, but hearts
crave a narrative, and our best selling author, Jerry B. Jenkins,
(01:47):
you'll know him from Left Behind and the Chosen. He says,
God is the greatest storyteller ever, and good stories that
flow from faith aren't sermons. Their stories emotive, gripping human.
Jenkins encourages Christian writers to embed hope naturally without preaching.
(02:08):
Most compelling scenes characters faced with struggle yet emerging with faith,
not cliche but vivid, real faith. That's why faith based content, creators, podcasters, vloggers, writers,
your work matters. Audiences don't just want scripture, they want life,
real life where faith thrives through adversity. When we frame
(02:31):
our content honestly, warts and all we resonate authentically, that's influence,
not manipulation. That's truth not propaganda. So here's a challenge
to you. If your work gets labeled too preachy, ask
is your audience leaning in for real story or are
we offering package piety. The value isn't in telling people
(02:53):
we have answers, but in showing how faith walk through
darkness and found breakthrough, and that leads us to our
final story, one that feels especially urgent in America today.
Charisma highlights another timely theme. America's hope lies in returning
to God, and history proves it. Executives like Kirk Cameron
(03:15):
remind us even the gravest national crises wield opportunity for
spiritual renewal when people turn back to God. Here's historical truth.
America's greatest awakenings, great awakenings I and Daseigsani weren't flashy movements.
They were grassroots waves of repentance, faith prayer. They healed divisions,
(03:37):
lifted morality, and reshaped culture for decades. Today, in a
time of division AI driven chaos and cultural doubt, that
call to return matters not as empty patriotism, but as
spiritual renaissance. As believers, we don't just opt out of culture.
We engage, we stand, We live deliberately. So I ask,
(04:01):
what does returning to God look like for you? A
small group, authentic podcast, honest conversations and social media. It
begins with humility, confession, and listening before you go smash
that subscribe button like it owes you money and hey,
tell your friends, tell your barista, Tell that one guy
(04:24):
in your small group who always says I don't really
watch YouTube. This is your intervention talk radio folks. You
want to pick up the show. I come with zero
budget requirements and an unhealthy amount of energy. Subscribe on YouTube,
Listen on Spotify, Apple or whatever app you downloaded by
accident in twenty thirteen and never deleted. I'm there, I'm everywhere,
(04:48):
